"What do I care if Mrs. Harrison Williams is the best dressed woman in town?" Cole Porter

When you start writing about people suddenly you are scouring ebay for photographs of them— I obsessed a bit. It's 2 months till my book is finally released, April 11th. Cecil Beaton's portrait of Mona and Harrison Williams is on the cover. Here's one of my Mona photographs, c1937- February 10, by the way! Quote: copy should read- Mrs. Harrison Williams acknowledged to be the world'sbest dressed woman, accompanied by William Taylor, arriving at the Colony Club in Palm Beach Fla., where they are vacationing.

HOW THEY DECORATED

now available at Amazon

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
